Schoolfundr pricing vs Vertical Raise.
Schoolfundr is free - no subscription plans, tiers, or platform fee on every dollar that you raise - while Vertical Raise requires users to sacrifice 20% of every dollar raised. On top of the 20%, Vertical Raise asks the donor to cover the 4% payment processing fee and charges fees for gifts and prizes. When adding the platform, processing, and prize fees they can often total over 30% of every dollar raised.

Hometown has been a game-changer for our district. If your stadium lacks internet or you need reliable support, Hometown is the way to go!
When I'm asking my kids to raise money, I want to make sure they are getting the most out of every dollar they raise. We've found that in Hometown.
Hometown has always been a call away. On a Friday night football game with 5,000 fans, it’s comforting to know you can get immediate help.
The entire process has been first-class and seamless. We use it for summer camps, band events, parking permits — many things beyond athletics. It’s been an amazing tool for our district.
Hometown has streamlined our ticketing operations and processes. The platform is user-friendly and makes creating events, tracking revenue, and Point-of-Sale seamless.
This is the easiest, most professionally run way to raise funds. The part that’s so special is Schoolfundr only makes money on tips! Other platforms take 20%!
We raised more money in the last two years using Schoolfundr than we had in the previous six. It’s reassuring to know everything we raise goes back to our program. I’d recommend it to anyone.
